About Me

My photo
My friends call me the "grammar goddess." Really. ;-) I own a freelance writing, editing and tutoring business. Previously, I served three years as food editor for The Morning Sun in Mt. Pleasant, which kindled my interest in food writing. My other areas of expertise in writing include features, community news, architecture/construction and engraving/personalization. I have a frightening number of cookbooks and watch too many DIY, HGTV, Food Network, Cooking Channel and Antiques Roadshow (BBC and PBS versions) shows. And I tweak nearly every recipe I make.

On May 12, 'Stamp Out Hunger'


It's the 20th year that the U.S. Postal Service has undertaken the Stamp Out Hunger food drive. 

The goal is to make this year's collection a record-breaking one that would exceed last year's total of more than 1,046,880 pounds of food collected from generous etro Detroiters. 

Just leave nonperishable food donations next to your mailbox bright and early Saturday, May 12 and your friendly letter carrier will deliver it to a local food bank or pantry. (If you don't do bright and early and it's not going to rain, you can always leave the food out the night before.)
